Erica & Band Get Scattered & Covered After the Show

This past weekend, my band and I had a show at Smith’s Olde Bar in Atlanta. I documented each part of the day– so much so– that my band even sloganed the day: #fortheblog because I kept saying, “let’s take a pic for the blog!”

8:30 am- We loaded up the vehicle and tried to make everything fit!
9:00 am- We leave Nashville and hit the road. It was a very comfy ride.

2:00 pm- We arrive at my parents’ house in Roswell, GA to eat some lunch and have one last rehearsal.

4:00 pm- We leave for Atlanta.

5:00 pm- We load in and sound check at Smith’s Olde Bar.

7:00 pm- Show time! (And it was our best show yet!)

9:00 pm- Now, I wouldn’t say this is typical for a show day, but on this particular day my friend hooked us up with VIP Luke Bryan tix–so of course we went.

12:00 am- It wouldn’t be a good show day without Waffle House.

If you couldn’t make it to Atlanta and happen to be in Cleveland, TN–I have a show at Pokey’s THIS FRIDAY, Aug 1 at 9:00pm. Would love to see you there! For more show dates, you can check my website: ericabryan.com

Erica’s passion for performing started when her mom brought her to her first theatre audition in Pennsylvania when she was eight years old. She didn’t make the cut. But the next year, she went back to the same audition and got the part. From an early age, Erica learned that with hard work and persistence, anything can happen. After her first show, there was no question that performing is what she would do for a living.
When she was twelve years old, her family moved to Roswell, GA, where she heard Country music for the first time. After listening to Reba and singing lots of Shania Twain karaoke, Erica decided she wanted to be a Country singer. Some years went by and, although Country music was always in the back of her mind, she started focusing more on her theatre opportunities, which led to her decision to study Musical Theatre in college.
While still in college, Erica performed professionally with Opera Birmingham, and spent her summers performing at theme parks and theatres. After graduation, she moved to New York City to continue her professional theatre career. While in New York, Erica got to train with Broadway’s finest actors and was cast in leading roles in Regional Theatres around the country. During one of her shows, Erica had the opportunity to perform with a Country band on the side. Call it coincidence or fate, but Erica was back singing Country music in the middle of a theatre contract, and she fell in love all over again.
After another year in theatre, it became clear to Erica that it was time to move to Nashville, TN and pursue her original childhood dream of being a Country artist. Shortly after arriving to Nashville, she landed a day job working for country hero, Reba McEntire, at Starstruck Entertainment. By night, she began crafting her own songs and writing skills. Within a couple months of songwriting, Erica’s songs started receiving the highest honors from the Nashville Songwriters Association. She recently released her debut single “This House Is Haunted,” and is receiving radio play in multiple countries. For the Country Record describes Erica as, “one of those rare multi-talented people who most only dream about becoming.” Erica is currently touring with her original music and plays keys, ukulele, and guitar to anyone who will listen.
